Happy Herbivore Abroad Giveaway!!!

Remember last week when I blogged about Lindsay Nixon's new Happy Herbivore Abroad cookbook? You know, the one loaded with simple, low-fat, vegan, international cuisine, full-color photos, and stories of Lindsay's world travels?

Well, I was supposed to also host a giveaway, thanks to her generous publisher. But I forgot! So we'll do that today.

If you'd like to read a review (and see pics of her Pasta e fagioli and her Blueberry Bundt Cake) of Happy Herbivore Abroad, check out my post from last Thursday. If you want to win a copy, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post letting me know your favorite international food. And by that, I mean, a dish from a country that you don't live in.

Despite the international theme here, the contest is only open to residents of the U.S. and Canada, per the publisher's rules.

I'll randomly select one winner on Sunday evening! Good luck!

Oh, and as always with these contests, if your comment isn't linked back to a blog with a way to contact you, please leave me your email address in the comment so I can contact you if you win.

I love this cookbook. The bundt cake is a Saturday staple at our house. My daughter has picked it as her reward for a good week. Although, to avoid the sticky mess of a two-year-old with glaze, I just put some lemon zest into the batter and leave it glazeless. So yum.

My favorite international dishes are a toss up between falafel, hummus, veggies and tahini sauce all rolled up into a warm pita with extra pickles AND vegetable pad thai with tofu and extra peanut sauce. I'm sure there are plenty more amazing recipes in this cookbook.

My favorite food is a soup. And since becoming a vegan finding a replacement is hard. Tom Yum soup is a spicy tomatoe based soup with mushrooms, tomatoes, mung bean sprouts & thin bean noodles. The problem is there is shrimp & fiah sauce in the dish.

Do I have to pick just ONE favorite dish from another country? :( Well, I can't! Let's start with lavash made over an open fire in the desert (just name your Middle Eastern country) and schmear some homemade hummus on it. Now add some cucumber, fresh tomatoes, pine nuts and whatever else you choose.Or, how about a vegetarian/vegan Ethiopian platter? Yum!Or the Indian smoky eggplant dish that has a name I can never remember. I could go on, but I won't!

So tough to narrow it down! Most of my favorite foods are from countries that aren't my own. I definitely have a soft spot for Gomen Wot (Ethiopian collard greens). I love its slightly metallic taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

One of my fave foods is from a local family run Chinese place that caters to vegans. It is General Tso's Tofu. Even my 12 year old loves the "spicy tofu" and has to make sure we get some every time we go.

My favorite international dish is Pad Thai, hands down! I have always loved noodles and when they are combined with peanuts, sweet tamarind, pungent green onions, and spicy chilis...well, I simply swoon!

I just read another review for this cookbook and I would absolutely love to own it!! My new favorite international dish is one that I just discovered- the burmese tea leaf salad. Oh my goodness! The fermented tea leaves are like something i've never tasted and you get all of the different textures from the different nuts, garlic, seeds. Its pretty much unreal!
